Sheddy's: my new mid-city watering hole

i feel like my attitude towards mid-city bars has been wavering lately. i have my favorites everywhere else, but west hollywood has failed to produce a solid location that i would visit time & time again... that is until last night!

in my google map quest to find a "new" drinks location, i stumbled across an la times review of a tiny bar on the corner of fairfax & 3rd. fairfax & 3rd? really? sandwiched somewhere between the grove, cvs, whole foods & citibank? intrigued, i set out to check out this "good old-fashioned beer-swigging pub."

dark & cozy, this is the perfect location, free of pretension, for a lovely little conversation between good friends, or new acquaintances. the couple next to us were ordering "tangerines." i'm not sure what it is, but it's a definite taste test for my next visit... as is the cheese & meat platter.

With happy hour until 8PM ($3.50 / pint), the FYI footnote: bring in a Grove theater movie stub to get half-off your first item, and the ample parking this place is a clear winner!
